Ovarian/Fallopian/Peritoneal Cancer Flashcards
What is the staging procedure in apparent early stage epithelial ovarian cancer?
●Peritoneal cytology (washings or ascites).
●Visual assessment of the upper abdomen, peritoneal surfaces, and large and small bowel mesentery and other abdominal organs, with biopsies of abnormal findings.
●Hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
●Pelvic and paraaortic lymph node dissection.
●Infracolic or infragastric omentectomy
What is FIGO stage 1 ovarian/fallopian cancer?
Tumor limited to ovaries (one or both) or fallopian tube(s)
What is FIGO stage 1A ovarian/fallopian tube cancer?
Tumor limited to one ovary (capsule intact) or fallopian tube, no tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface; no malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings
What is FIGO stage 1B ovarian/Fallopian tube cancer?
Tumor limited to both ovaries (capsules intact) or fallopian tubes; no tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface; no malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings
What is FIGO stage 1C1 ovarian/Fallopian tube cancer?
Tumor limited to one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes, with surgical spill
What is FIGO stage 1C2 ovarian/Fallopian tube cancer?
Tumor limited to one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes, with Capsule ruptured before surgery or tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface
What is FIGO stage 1C3 ovarian/Fallopian tube cancer?
Tumor limited to one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes, with Malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings
What is FIGO stage 2 Ovary, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma?
Tumor involves one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes with pelvic extension below pelvic brim or primary peritoneal cancer
What is the lowest stage for primary peritoneal cancer?
Stage 2
What is FIGO stage 2A Ovary, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma?
Extension and/or implants on the uterus and/or fallopian tube(s) and/or ovaries
What is FIGO stage 2B Ovary, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma?
Extension to and/or implants on other pelvic tissues
What is FIGO stage 3 Ovary, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma?
Tumor involves one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes, or primary peritoneal cancer, with microscopically confirmed peritoneal metastasis outside the pelvis and/or metastasis to the retroperitoneal (pelvic and/or para-aortic) lymph nodes
What is FIGO stage 3A2 Ovary, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma?
Microscopic extrapelvic (above the pelvic brim) peritoneal involvement with or without positive retroperitoneal lymph nodes
What is FIGO stage 3B Ovary, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma?
Macroscopic peritoneal metastasis beyond pelvis 2 cm or less in greatest dimension with or without metastasis to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes
What is FIGO stage 3C Ovary, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma?
Macroscopic peritoneal metastasis beyond the pelvis more than 2 cm in greatest dimension with or without metastasis to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes (includes extension of tumor to capsule of liver and spleen without parenchymal involvement of either organ)
